“This is a super camp that gives kids that may not know much about the game, an opportunity to experience and be introduced to the game without the fear of asking, ‘Am I good enough?’ said Braden. She is real big on teaching kids the fundamentals. Braden continued “We are doing our youth such a disservice by giving them the opportunity to play youth sports where the entire focus is win, win, win. They are not being taught the fundamentals on how to just play the game of basketball. I love that about this camp. Once they have the foundation, there is no limit to where these kids can go.”

The cost for the camp is $50 per student/player. Students will receive a t-shirt and five days of excellent instruction. A family discount for every full price enrollment will give the second player a fifty-percent discount.

Students who pre-register before Monday, July 8 will also receive a $5 discount. To preregister call LWCA at 573 374-1500 or Coach Dan Noyes at 573 374-5545. Registration forms may also be picked-up Monday through Friday at the Academy, located on Highway 5 in Sunrise Beach.
